I have a question about the GL account classes loaded with OFBiz seed data:

        DEBIT
            |___> NON_POSTING
            |
            |___> DISTRIBUTION
            |               |___> RETURN_OF_CAPITAL
            |               |
            |               |___> DIVIDEND
            |
            |___> ASSET
            |         |_________> LONGTERM_ASSET
            |         |                       |____> ACCUM_DEPRECIATION
            |         |                       |
            |         |                       |____> ACCUM_AMORTIZATION
            |         |
            |         |_________> CURRENT_ASSET
            |                                 |____> CASH_EQUIVALENT
            |                                 |
            |                                 |____> INVENTORY_ASSET
            |
            |___> EXPENSE
                      |_________> CASH_EXPENSE
                      |                       |____> INTEREST_EXPENSE
                      |                       |
                      |                       |____> COGS_EXPENSE
                      |                       |
                      |                       |____> SGA_EXPENSE
                      |
                      |_________> NON_CASH_EXPENSE
                                              |____> DEPRECIATION
                                              |
                                              |____> AMORTIZATION
                                              |
                                              |____> INVENTORY_ADJUST

        CREDIT
            |___> REVENUE
            |
            |___> INCOME
            |          |_______> CASH_INCOME
            |          |
            |          |_______> NON_CASH_INCOME
            |
            |___> EQUITY
            |         |_________> OWNERS_EQUITY
            |         |
            |         |_________> RETAINED_EARNINGS
            |
            |___> LIABILITY
                      |_________> CURRENT_LIABILITY
                      |
                      |_________> LONGTERM_LIABILITY

        RESOURCE


As you can see ACCUM_DEPRECIATION and ACCUM_AMORTIZATION are in LONGTERM_ASSET 
class, which is in turn in the ASSET class; and ASSET class is part of the 
DEBIT class of accounts.
However our accountant mentioned that ACCUM_DEPRECIATION and ACCUM_AMORTIZATION 
should carry CREDIT as opposed to DEBIT balances.
How should we represent this in seed data?

Kind regards,

Jacopo
